Ok, in response, FIFO style:

Eco2Geek, sorry bout that, didn't mean to imply you were being quoted, just what knowledge I had gained from you

Pydron, and for that matter, Kano, when I installed my Knoppix, I was but a "lil noob", not gained much since then, but, I did the complete install into a single partition - I know, bad - since then, I've only accomplished "breaking" out a small portion of that to a swap partition.

So, when my system has problems, the "complete" system gets affected by it. If I was bright, I'd get the v3.4, gut the system again, and then install again, but this time with a broken down partition setup. Only things stopping me are: (1) no clue on what the partitions sizing would be, (2) can't get an easy way of getting ahold of the v3.4 (again, 56k stinks), lastly, I'd hate to have to go through, yet another, attempt of getting all the packages I already have working and installed - hopefully harmoniously, at this time.

I guess this is still way better than Windows' OS's, for those "upgrades" usually require a complete gut/install - at least with Linux, you can "band-aide" it for a while, until you have to.
